It was mostly a joke game but had a lot of publicity 😛 Haven’t played it myself yet but I’ve been meaning to just for the “fun” of it 😛
Yep! Most the games are your standard fighter fair but that does make some sense as the most popular series (DBZ and Super) are all about fighting. They did make an RPG a couple of years back, Kakarot, following Goku’s life but I haven’t checked it out yet even though it goes on sale pretty often. They could easily do an adventure game based on Dragon Ball since that’s less fighting and more about making friends and hunting the Dragon Balls. Seems like a missed opportunity!
Awakening looks like it’s the digital version of the physical card game. The actual card game used to be pretty popular but has waned in recent years but I think our LGS may still sell some packs (not sure, though).
Fallout could be a good one for a series as it’s got a lot of lore to it that they can explore, especially the time before the games. Will be quite interesting to see how it turns out! They’re also doing a tie in with the Magic card game. They just did an LotR tie-in, not sure how Fallout fits in 😛
Over here, our local OTA ads are pretty much medication related or for personal injury lawyers now. In some cases, ads are run but the product is never even mentioned at all in the ad, save in the fine print that you need to get up to the TV to see, so they aren’t all that effective. I miss the days of fun ads! 🙁
Smellovision! 😀 Disney still uses it for some of their attractions!
I knew some of the artwork in Batman 143 looked rather odd when it came out and someone did some investigating as they felt the same and it turns out that it may have been AI generated. The style didn’t even fit in with the surrounding artwork. It was very weird
There’s always Goat Simulator! 😛
Started watching the original Dragon Ball the other day and it’s a lot of fun. Very different from DBZ and I quite like it! 🙂
Hasn’t been edited in five years? That’s a lifetime in tech years (not really!)! 😛
I’m surprised people actually cheat at solitaire!
Yep, it is an odd term. The talk page is filled with cleanup discussion but I didn’t see that mentioned. “Minor” or “small” would be a better fit if they didn’t have a number handy 🙂
Cool!
Yeah, they forcibly pushed Copilot out a few weeks ago and turned it on by default. I don’t have plans to use it so I’ve got it turned off. 🙂
Yuck! Really not sure what could be going on with it 🙁
🙁 We don’t have many candy shops left in Florida but several other states still have a healthy ( 😛 ) amount of them. Most of our “candy” here is the hard sugar and artificially flavored stuff we pick up in the supermarket. Have made my own before with real ingredients and it turns out so much better! One of these days, I plan to make marshmallow with real mallow! 🙂 Fun fact: the Egyptians used to use them as cough drops!
Haven’t seen that one before 😛
Now we just need Stallone with Rocky! 😀
Regarding Europa, from the recent studies they’re now leaning towards life not being able to survive but enough oxygen to somewhat support a colony of sorts. I find fault with this as I still believe it’s a mistake assuming oxygen is required for life as a whole. A specific example on Earth is the tardigrade. If they can live in a vacuum, why shouldn’t we expect other forms of life to do the same?
Yeah, that’s a known issue in bbPress that’s fixed in the dev version (2.6.7 I think) but hasn’t been pushed downstream. Here’s the link: https://github.com/bbpress/bbPress/commit/bbde786798c47b61f1ef87bd049224f351458b7b
Probably worth forwarding to Robin to see if they can fix it on their end 🙂
I’ve had issues on Linux as well! Granted, those have been due to the package maintainers pushing out a bad configuration file and refusing to fix it after they were made aware of it
Has issues with Nvidia drivers in the past on both operating systems. They claimed it was hardware related but everything pointed to a fault in the common driver code causing random hard freezes. On Linux, I was able to recover by going into the lower level console and manually reloading the drivers and modules. Haven’t touched Nvidia cards since then. Even Evga, who manufactured the card, agreed with my diagnosis. Very irresponsible of Nvidia!
Yep! Can’t do 10 BPC without proper driver support! It’s quite nice when working with photos 🙂
I did used to like tweaking things but support has gotten so hairy (hello cousin It!) that I mostly just use the basic stuff now, outside of theming that is. Still like tweaking the snot out of GTK 😛
We need more game discussion going on!
Weird! Yeah, definitely try doing a clean install of the full driver package and seeing if that helps. A lock may have gotten set somewhere for who knows what reason. These things can get strange!
Updated the AMD drivers from 23 to 24 the other day and, while the update itself went smoothly, there were some oddities after install. I always try to leave the settings at the defaults when I can to keep wonkiness away and after the update the fans kept revving up more in non-resource intense programs (this was on Windows). I tried capping the frame rate in Adrenaline using both Vsync settings individually (didn’t have them both on at once) but those settings didn’t seem to have any effect and things were still hitting 600 FPS (need to report the bug to AMD). The default profile is HYPR-RX under Gaming -> Graphics so I changed that to Default and everything went back to normal. Definitely a bug in Adrenaline there but if anyone has issues with version 24, try changing the profiles. 🙂
Didn’t care too much for Bogus Journey, really liked the first one more. Something about it just seemed a little off, as though their heart just wasn’t in it.
I’m not sure we can even get MadTV over here. Makes me sad. I used to enjoy it when I was a kid 🙁
Saw Night Game the other day and the acting was pretty good but the plot was horrendous. We’re expected to assume too many points in the mystery, which leaves you baffled 😛
Ah, the Gong Show. A classic! 😀
Need some Queen in here:
😛
Haven’t run across the Plasmatics before! Surprised they didn’t use their videos to help promote plasma TVs. Would have been quite fun! 😀
Here’s a good one that just cropped up in my YouTube feed:
Symphonic metal is quite soothing!
Sadly, the updates over here automatically install and there’s no way to tell it to wait a while so that they can get the kinks worked out first 🙁
Will be interested in your experience with it! Been thinking about upgrading at some point anyways since it’s pretty handy for researching and the like 🙂
Yuck. Could be a bad SIM slot in the new tablet
Will look out for it!
Yuck. A lot of people falsely believe that microwaves break down the nutrients even though it’s been disproven. It’s something they don’t teach you in health class, even though they cover healthy eating. Bit of a weird omission
Silent Scream was okay. Not much depth to it and the plot was pretty shallow but some of the acting was fun. Overall, I’d give it a C but not enough to watch again 🙂
Perfect. Thanks! They could have made that clearer! I do lose weather information, which was helpful, but don’t miss the news ticker. 🙂
Sounds good. No hurry! My tools came in the other day, just haven’t had a chance to get things sorted yet. Will get there! Also need to see if some reading glasses help with the eyestrain I’ve been experiencing. 😛
Yeah, could be the CDN doing something or it could even be something like an embedded media post not being able to load. That’ll also do it
Is there a way to disable the news ticker on the Windows taskbar? In finding it quite distracting and tend to glance at it. I’ve looked around in the various settings but couldn’t find it. I’ve always had difficulty finding my way around Windows, which is part of why I mostly use Linux 😛
Yuck. The latest update to OneUI 6 is a huge battery drain and has some serious performance issues (pretty noticeable on mine since it’s a basic model). Battery drain has doubled and the UI is much slower since they pushed it out. Hopefully they release a hot fix at some point 🙁
Entertainment Earth (a Sideshow competitor with a lot more stuff) had some too, at one point. Nothing recent, though. Power Girl doesn’t get enough publicity 🙁
At one point, xkcd was linking to Indexed but that link was removed sometime in the last fifteen years. Wonder if they had a falling out?
There’s another idea: all the happenings on Earth are the results of spirits of past civilizations playing out pranks! 😀
The other films that are planned have been trapped in development hell for a long time but they do have a game coming out!
Beginning to run out of slashers on Tubi so I’ll be moving to science fiction soon. Probably should rewatch the Brain that wouldn’t Die again. That was a fun one!
I don’t think so, it’s mostly just research right now. They’re using it to play with quantum states and that sort of thing. Not much but baby steps! 🙂
Yep, that’s the one! I could order the cover but it’s probably not worth spending an extra 5 USD in addition to the cover price just for it, no matter how much I like it 😛
Sideshow has a couple!
😀
Have you ever seen This is Indexed? They do witty graphs! Been enjoying them for decades!
